(3) K-3 Illustrated by Mike Yamada. The narrator torments his sister Alice with his "bad guy" tactics (chasing her; dumping spaghetti on her head to eat her "brain"). He enjoys this identity and resents being told to "play nice." The surprise ending upends gender stereotypes and shows there's a fellow bad guy around. The entertaining digital illustrations bounce from typical family scenes to imaginative depictions of the narrator's wild schemes.
